For UUCB’s MUUsic 2023 Fall Weekend, you are invited to “Prayers for Peace” a collaborative choral concert in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. This Fall, the UUCB Choir is collaborating with the University at Buffalo (UB) Choir, Mriya Ukrainian Women’s Choir, and St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church Choir to produce two evening concerts and a morning service featuring powerful reflective music in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. These events will showcase music by a variety of Ukrainian choral composers and will include spoken information on the music’s origins and meanings in both English and Ukrainian.
